LIFE OF THE PARTY – Trailer & Poster

Another comedy with actress Melissa McCarthy is under way. Life of the Party, directed by Ben Falcone, hits theaters on May 11.

About the film

When her husband suddenly dumps her, longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (McCarthy) turns regret into re-set by going back to college…landing in the same class and school as her daughter, who’s not entirely sold on the idea. Plunging headlong into the campus experience, the increasingly outspoken Deanna—now Dee Rock—embraces freedom, fun and frat boys on her own terms, finding her true self in a senior year no one ever expected.

McCarthy and Falcone co-wrote the screenplay and produced through their production company, On the Day. Chris Henchy also produced the film, with Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener, Michael Disco and David Siegel serving as executive producers.

Falcone’s behind-the-scenes creative team included director of photography Julio Macat; production designer Rusty Smith; editor Brian Olds; and costume designer Louise Mingenbach. The music is by Fil Eisler.
